    Mother Nature

    I'm not sure.I think I may have underexposed.Can this be worked?
    I wanted to capture some foreground detail. This is not a sunset.Taken at 3;30 p.m. The skies were boiling.A sub-tropical high press front blasting through.
    Your thoughts?

    Re: Mother Nature

    Rick - interesting shot. I would not add any exposure... reason being is, it's pretty much an ad hoc shot taken at what appears to be a parking lot. Having it dark mostly masks that. It is what it is: an interesting shot of a (approximate) sunset and some nice threatening clouds. The shapes of the objects aren't ideal, but it's OK... adds some interest.

    I think it is very nice with great composition. I would maybe tweak the rotation a bit on the horizon, maybe getting the signs to line up a bit.

    Good job as usual.

    i would rotate, crop, and push the whites up as well as crush the blacks just to increase the color where it is in the image, and call it a day.

    Well, the silhouettes in the front are still silhouettes but the sky can be worked very well.
    Are you interested in seeing my edit?

    Re: Mother Nature

    Well, here is the edit. Working from a compressed jpeg has its limitations but the sky has more "punch" now, at least on my monitor.

    Re: Mother Nature

    I like both images. Now all it needs is someone standing in the foreground looking at the sun, as if preparing for a mission..........

    Nah, people don't belong. You've been watching too much Tom Cruise.
